Children will love to see their groundhog pop out of its burrow.

 


1. Gather your material. You will need beige Fun Foam, a piece of sandpaper, wiggly eyes, white glue and/or hot glue, a brown marker, a Q-tip, a pipe cleaner, scissors, and a brown pompom.

8. Show children how they can pull the pipe cleaner downwards to make it look as if the groundhog is inside its burrow and then pull on the groundhog to make it pop out of its burrow. Will their groundhog see its shadow?
